yelling on Oct 9.
A little green spot in Madison square
markes the place where the cornerstone Of
the monument TO Sergt. Jasper was laid
with impressive ceremonies eight years ago.
For time temporary brick foundation
marked the site for the proposed memorial
to the heroic soldier of the Revolution, but
that was taken down some time ago TO
make room for a more solid structure upon
which the commemorative stone and hfe-like
image in bronze are TO rest.
1t was expected when the unsightly brick
work was removed that the statue would
soon take its place and that another patri-
otto memento of the love of the people of
Savannah for those who died in the defense
of the city would be added to those which
already mark its principal promenade
There has been, however, no unnecessary
delay on the part of the artist and sculptor
TO whom the work was awarded
Few persons have an idea of the thought,
labor and time required to execute models
for such a work of art MIR. Doyle has
been steadily engaged on the work for sew
eral months, and as now all his previous
commissions are completed there viii be no
interruption, and it is expected that the
statue viii be ready for unwilling early this
fall, probably ON Oct 8, the anniver-

DIR. BRUNER's REPORT.

He Says That Savannah is Safe From
Yellow Fever Through Florida
DIR. Bruner, who was sent to Florida by
the Savannah Board of Health to see if the
quarantine regulations there are properly
enforced, has filed his report with the
Mayor. In it he says that the quarantine
regulations are properly carried out, and
the precautions taken by the authorities of
the ports are sufficient protection to Savan-
nah. The seeds of yellow fever terminate
in from six TO ten days, and with
the care taken by the quarantine officers
it would be impossible for anyone landing
on the Florida coast to reach Savannah
within that time The city authorities ac-
cept the report as satisfactory, and conclude
that all is being done that can be done to
prevent the spread of the disease beyond
where it now exists

A SERIOUS COLLISION.
a. Fire Engine and a Street Car Col
Tide and Two People Hurt.

AlOe ana Two Feople hurt,
A serious accident occurred at Abercorn
and Congress street lane few minutes be
fore O'Clock yesterday morning An alarm
of fire had been sent in from Abercorn and
Broughton streets, and the fire department
was answering it. Terrence Bennett was
driving Engine No. l up Congress street
lane. Just before he reached Abercorn
street an open street car going out Abercorn
street started across the lane Bennett en-
deavored to pull up his horses, but they were
gong at such speed that he could not stop
them. They dashed into the middle
OF the car and smashed things up
pretty badly. Capt. Thoma&F. Screven was
a passenger in the car The pole struck
MN IN the head and inflicted a serious, but
not dangerous, scalp wound.
Conductor James Lewis was knocked
down, and it was feared that he had sus-
teIned dangerous internal injuries. He had
gone from the rear platform to the front
platform to tell the driver that there was a
fire somewhere in the neighborhood and to
drive slow. In returning through the car
the tongue OF the engine struck him on the
arm and CHANGING struck him in the side.
had he received the blow first on his side he
would doubtless have been killed. As soon
as possible he was removed to his home ON
Anderson street Capt. Henry NJ Smith was
the other occupant of the car, but he escaped
uninjured
The driver of the car was negro named
Robert Dolly. Bennett stated that he was
ringing. the engine gong, and that Dolly
must have heard it in time to have stopped
the car. The negro was arrested and taken
before the Mayor A partial examination
was held and the case was continued until
to-day. The street railroad authorities
blame the engine driver for driving at so
rapid rate, and the fire department Off
Gals throw the blame on the car driver.

Refused to Pay and was Put Off.

A passenger on suburban train of the
Chicago and Northwestern railway some
months ago, not being able to find seat
refused to pay his fare and was helped off
the train. He brought suit against the
company for damages, and the Superior
Court III Chicago has decided that while a
passenger is entitled to seat if he pays his
fare yet he cannot refuse to pay and still
ride on the train, his recourse being to re-
fuse TO ride and sue the company for not
providing accommodations. Whether he
would make anything by so doing, however,
the Judge did not declare

fully gone over and revised, and all that
now remains is to tie the little knots of pink
and blue ribbon through the eyelet holes at
the top of the pages. What is most exer-
cising the minds of Principal Bogarts class
Just now is graduating dresses. The pre-
vailing color will of course be white,
but the style is what most
troubles the little bangled brain that has
tlst been set free from books and horI':d
examinations. Principal Trains class is not
at all worried in that way.
